'80 Drawing.

Be it known that I, Orro H. SHULTZ, a

subject of the King of Great Britain, residto the gallon:

ing at Windsor, in the Provinceof Ontario and Dominion of Canada,have invented new and useful Improvements in Paint Compositions, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in paint compositions, and its primary object is to provide a composition for use as a fill for ordinary aints whereby the volume, spreading capacity and general efliciency of inside and outside paints of the general character in common use may be materially increased at a very low cost.

A further object of the invention is to provide a paint composition which will render any ordinary paint applicable to wood, plaster, stone, brick, metal or other materials, so as to adhere closely without peeling, blistering, scaling or being otherwise affected by atmospheric changes, and which will cling closely to surfaces to which ordinary paints will not adhere.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a composition which will render an ordinary paint water and fire-proof, destructive of germicidal and fungoid life, and also of maximum hardness, durability and luster producing qualities.

In carrying my invention into practice I provide a composition made from the following substances in the following proportions:

It will be observed that the caustic soda is in sufiicient amount not only to precipitate the lead acetate and zinc sulfate as hvdroxids but also to dissolve these hydroxlds, forming sodium plumbatc and sodium zincate. and in a 1 1on ere is su so a left over to s all t l 1 e 1 sin. These substances con er drying roperties and, give body to thicken the paint, and, through the action of their salts and acids, they also adapt the oil to form with the water an emulsion. thus keeping the soluble ingredients difiused throughout the vehicle. The caustic soda also has a softening action upon the water, thereby facilitating the combination of the ingredients, while the methylated spirits and common salt act as reservgtives to keep the water from freezing in clent caustic Lxamm CROSS REFERENCE Mu a bleaohin a cut for maintaining the color potassium acetate, gum arabic, common WEE paint, and in this combination rerosin, oxalic acid, caustic soda and water. acts with the litharge, forming an insoluble H 2.
